I bought a pair initially and sold them off on the boards shortly after. They didn't appeal to me like many and durability I would suspect is an issue should you damage them. They are very thin and in my opinion fragile relative to impact that may be encountered from carrying. My first pair cracked installing only the grip pin. They sent sent me another, and I didn't even bother installing them. I sent the cracked pair back btw. Believe me, I wanted them and really like the look of them but my experience turned me off.
